Spring has Sprung on My Mantel! Decorating My Mantel

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Hi Friends, 

 I'm so glad your here! Today, I'm so excited to share Spring touches to my Fireplace Mantel.

***

I shopped my home to find a few of my vintage treasures to add some interest to the Fireplace Mantel.

A vintage green Basket-Weave USA planter, I found earlier this year while thrifting,vintage rooster marked Japan. Pewter tray and a Mid-Century glass vase.

***

A cute smaller green pottery planter, stamped Calif Pottery USA and a couple vintage Medicine Bottles.

A vintage green pottery vase marked Bush/McCoy USA, piece I found at a yard sale last Summer, a couple of books,vintage Royal Copley rooster, small white Avon container and a pair of vintage emerald green coffee cups.

***

Also, I thought it would be fitting to add the adorable white creamer with a bird pattern, it is stamped Grimwade, England.

***

I did want to incorporate a touch of white with this piece of Milkglass Wedding Compote.

***

Lastly, I mixed in a green Indiana Glass Compote and a few other vintage glass pieces.

***

 Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see how I have decorated my Fireplace Mantel for Spring.

 I would love to hear if you have started decorating for Spring in your home. 

 So until my next post......

I also, spied the two useful glass measuring cups, the large two cups is a FireKing for $1.50

and the one cup is a Pyrex for $1.00

I may use for decor above the kitchen cabinets

***

I have been eyeing these cups for a while, they were priced at $2.50 each, today I paid $1.25 each for the black enamel cups.

I'll be using these enamel cups for entertaining on the deck, this summer
***

I been wanting to get a collection of Blue Currier Ives flatware for some time at a reasonable price.

Today was the day........I've been watching this blue Currier Ives tea cup for sometime, it was priced at $5.00, thinking the price was a bit high for one cup.

Today, I was able to purchase the cup for $2.50

I'll be collecting a pieces at a time, I have a feeling.
